Abstract
THIS book is a publication in English form of the course of twelve lectures delivered in 1925 by Prof. Wheeler at the University of Paris. The treatment here given of the evolution of the social insects—wasps, bees, ants, and termites—is as careful and thorough as would be expected of so eminent an authority.
